Vegans sure don’t!

Rheumatoid arthritis patients may be able to improve their symptoms by switching to a vegan and gluten-free diet, a study in Sweden has found…

… At the same time, the vegans developed a lower body mass index, had lower levels of bad cholesterol and higher levels of immune system factors that potentially inhibit the inflammatory reaction. The research was reported in the journal Arthritis Research and Therapy.

Hi. My wife’s uncle in celiac and 60 yo. He eats vegan and gluten free and he eats like a horse. He is also as skinny as a rake but as fit and healthy as a 20 yo. He is a great example of someone on long term vegan and gluten free and how healthy they can be. Regards.
